Chapter 3 – Chapter 0 – Destiny Opponent

“Ohhh.. Destined partner.. Are you talking about your partner?”

“It doesn’t necessarily mean a companion. Sometimes, a close friend who will be with you for the rest of your life, a lord you will serve, and a colleague who can fight back to back. These people sometimes appear. But more than half of them have a companion.”

“It’s quite interesting.”

Well, there are quite a few couples who come to see fortunes with this and find out that each other is not destined and break up, but let’s not talk about that.

“In this case, I can’t exactly know the personal information. Just the appearance, characteristics, and the future place I saw. I can describe that much, but it’s difficult to ask exactly who it is. I don’t know either.”

“There are so many tricky things about your ability.”

“Is it really that easy to read the future?”

Responding to the words of the Heavenly Demon, she took out a fist-sized marble from her chest.

In fact, it is the most important thing when looking at divination.

Woodcuts and other items can be retrieved somehow, but these cannot be obtained again.

“Oh. And if you’ll excuse me, could you give me just one strand of hair?”

“Here it is.”

“Please wait a moment..”

-Ugh

When I put my hair on top of the beads and activated them, the beads started to glow.

“..Yamyeongju?”

“No.”

That’s why it’s something I don’t bring out often.

Yamyeongju is a very expensive item in Moorim.

In particular, before I became famous, I had a lot of trouble hiding it in my arms and secretly using it.

Surely the Heavenly Demon wouldn’t covet a night myeongju barely the size of a fist like this.

They must be piled up in the basement warehouse of the Demonic Church.

– Woo woo woo

The orb began to glow and radiate energy.

A different spirit than mine. I’m just calling it heavenly.

A thin, invisible energy extended from the clouds in the sky and descended to this small marble, creating a small vortex inside.

“Then… Let’s take a look…”

I closed my eyes as I felt my consciousness being sucked into the orb.

The surrounding background was quite peaceful.

The flowers were blooming brightly, and I could see a mansion with a garden that was well lit by sunlight.

[The wind is warm and even the flowers are blooming, it seems like spring. I see a beautiful mansion.]

[It’s a mansion..]

Come to think of it, does the Heavenly Demon have a separate house?

I was curious, but decided not to ask.

For the Murim people, the issue of housing is also quite important.

“I’ll keep looking. Time is running out.”

In this space, I moved my newly created body and went inside the mansion.

This space is a kind of virtual space created by heavenly spirit.

In this, I am neither seen nor felt by other beings.

It is considered to be in a state similar to that of a ghost.

When I entered the mansion, I heard a human voice.

When I went to the place where I heard the voice, four children resembling Heavenly Demons were fighting.

“Soa! Did you eat the refreshment hidden in the teacup?!”

“Me, not me! Jungwoon’s older brother did that!”

“Why are you suddenly tripping over me?!”

“Brothers, don’t fight…”

‘…’

No matter how much they are the children of the Heavenly Demon, are they siblings?

More than I thought, I wanted to be an ordinary brother and sister.

“Yes. I ate it. What should I do? Are you going to hit me?”

“Profit…! Follow me to the arena! I’ll avenge you for the last time!”

‘..It’s a child.’

How to say

I also thought that the education of children was like a heavenly horse.

[I have 2 boys and 2 girls. I think you have a good room.]

[Hoo. It’s a pretty interesting future for the original girl to start her own family. What kind of a man is she ..]

I’m a little curious because I think like this.

What the hell is she doing, that she started her family with the Heavenly Demon?

If that’s enough to give birth to 4 children, it wouldn’t be a joke.

‘I don’t know who you are, but please don’t fight as a couple..’

On the day of even a couple fight, the midfield might turn upside down.

Please, I just wish you peace.

[Then, let’s find the man this time.]

[Okay. I’m curious about her, too.]

Leaving her children behind, she started wandering around the mansion.

-Thud!

While searching the mansion for a long time, vibrations were transmitted to where I was.

Seeing that it continues to ring after that, it seems that the sparring I mentioned earlier is in progress.

‘..They must be stronger than me.’

While thinking these stupid thoughts, I kept searching the mansion, but for some reason, I found the children’s room and the Heavenly Demon’s room, but I didn’t see her husband’s room.

‘Am I the kind of person who doesn’t get along well at home?’

She has four children to say she doesn’t get along.

Or, you can think of the possibility that they broke up after being close for some reason, but the space you entered now is a space created to find the opponent of the Heavenly Demon’s destiny.

Perhaps, even if the destined partner is not the husband, the destined partner of the Heavenly Demon is destined to exist in this space anyway.

[Have you not found it yet?]

[..It’s a bit difficult.]

[Hmm..]

Although it was outside, I could feel a little impatience in the Heavenly Demon’s voice.

I can’t do anything more than this.

It’s a little wasteful, but I have to use it.

‘It’s pretty hard to make.’

I rummaged in my pocket and pulled out an amulet.

Since it was a space inside the marble, the heavenly energy to activate the talisman overflowed and overflowed.

When I energized and threw the amulet, the amulet started flying in one direction.

[Looks like you’ll find it soon.]

I spoke to the Heavenly Demon and hurriedly followed the talisman.

Then, the place where the amulet flew was none other than the Heavenly Demon’s room.

The room that I confirmed earlier that there was no one in it.

‘What’s inside?’

After following the amulet into the room, the amulet flew behind the bookshelf in the room.

Apparently, there was a secret room behind it.

Since I’m in a ghost-like state, I went over the bookshelves and there was a staircase that went down to the basement.

‘…’

-Gulp

Something was ominous.

It was unusual.

Why on earth do I have to go all the way to the basement to find my fateful partner?

Is it okay to live in hiding because I am a rare sinner?

[Wait… Please wait a moment.]

In the meantime, I had been to the battlefield several times in this space, but this was the first time.

‘Cellar? Why?’

It was a visual staircase that I instinctively didn’t want to walk into, but I couldn’t help it.

You can’t go out without doing anything like this.

Just close your eyes and go in and check it out.

Because it might not be surprising.

‘Huh.. Let’s calm down.’

I tried to pat her on the chest and went down the stairs for a while, and once again a door with a considerable lock was blocking the front.

I can just get through, but if it was someone else, I would have had to go back here.

No, rather than that, is it really used to prevent outside intrusion?

‘It’s hard to come out even from inside..’

..An ominous image passed through my head, but I ignored it and continued walking.

After that, after going through several locks, I was able to finally find something.

The figure of a person whose limbs are tightly bound by chains thicker than his limbs.

‘..Woo-wook.’

Really, I’ve seen all kinds of star after star, but this was disgusting from a different side.

It looks fine, but I never thought I would do something like this.

‘Under..’

The fortunate thing is that this space is just a virtual space.

I don’t know who that man is, but I wished that this future would never actually come.

And I’m sorry I couldn’t help you, but first of all, this side has its own circumstances, so I have to check the face.

‘Excuse me for a minute…’

As she approached her man, he started shaking her body.

‘…?’

Won’t you feel me

Is it because of the mood?

“Ah… Uh…”

A cracked voice flowed from her man’s mouth.

No, it was an embarrassing moan to even call it a voice.

Suppressing the emotions boiling inside her, carefully check the man’s face.

-Thud!

“Heh..! Huh..!”

She was startled and had no choice but to back away.

It was dark, so it was hard to see, but the man’s face was very familiar.

Because it was none other than mine.

-Chunk-chunk-chunk!

“Ahhhhh”

A guy

No, ‘I’ was waving her chained arms while looking straight at me.

It was scary.

It was hard to see.

Her hair was frizzy, her body was very dry, and her skin was pale, as if it had never received sunlight.

‘What?! What?!’

Why am I here?!

Why is ‘me’ here like that?!

Could it be that I am the Heavenly Demon’s fateful partner?

To be like that?

“What do you want from me?”

“AA AA AA..”

‘I’ shed tears.

And her mouth, which was not even able to pronounce her pronunciation properly, was twitching.

“Escape… Go…?”

“Ugh! Ugh!”

“That’s right..?”

‘I’ nodded her head frantically.

But run away?

Why?

Anyway, in this space, I…

– Creepy!

At that moment, goosebumps ran through her body.

Something was coming down from up there.

I must have been in an invincible state unaffected by anything in this space, but there was a hole in that belief.

– Rattling

His body trembled and he did not move.

She just couldn’t move her feet.

Now that ‘something’ is approaching moment by moment. In real time, an immense sense of fear crawled through my body.

“Ugh! Ugh!!”

I could feel “Me” Desperately waving her arms and saying something, but

I couldn’t figure out what that meant.

And that ‘something’ is approaching the last door before you know it

When the last door opened

– Woe!

“Huh..! Heh..! Heh..!”

“Are you okay? I touched you because your face looked really bad. Did you make a mistake?”

I saw the face of the Heavenly Demon in front of me.

My body was still trembling.

.
.
.

“Are you calm?”

“It’s okay, it’s okay. It showed an unsightly appearance for a while.”

“What.

He held his hand over his still beating heart and held his breath.

And then he heard words that turned his head white.

“So did you see my husband?”

“Ah…”

My mouth is open like an idiot, and my hair is dyed white, so I don’t think about anything.

It reminded me of myself being imprisoned in the basement.

Now that I think about it, all of the four children resembled the Heavenly Demon, but mine also resembled them.

“Ah..”

When I can’t think of anything

The opening of his mouth was an instinctive struggle ahead of his thoughts.

“He was a tall, handsome man. He had long gray hair and seemed to have strong muscles, perhaps because he had learned martial arts.”

I put on an appearance with completely different characteristics from me.

“Hmm.. Gray hair.. Is it toward the North Sea Ice Palace..”

“I-I was just talking about looks.”

I’m sorry, Binggung.

You have to live with me first.

I swear I didn’t mean to.

.
.
.

Afterwards, the Heavenly Demon allowed me to return right away, as if she felt that my condition was not very good.

And it’s not true later

From that point on, my life started to turn around.
